mojo madness.

Ahhh Kate. (who is a front for someone with a much less cool fashion name than Kate Spade.) You understand me so well. Dots. Stripes. Juicy shots of unexpected color. Tights. ♥ ♥ ♥

Speaking of tights love... As an, erm, curvy girl, tights can be hard to come by. Target's a good place for cool, funky color tights in my size. The website We Love Colors is good too, in a wide variety of colors and sizes.

But...if you've got some serious crushing (like I do) on that middle photo above, the one with the aqua top, goldenrod skirt, LEOPARD JACKET (OMG), and black dotty tights... but, alas, you have generous thigh-age and boot-ay...have I got some www for you.

Oh, lovely sewing mojo,why doth you abandon me so,in the wee few hours of the weekend?

pps... Just a little note for clarity: Yup, I do know "Kate Spade" is an actual, living, breathing person. :) I remember when she launched her handbag line. But she is no longer the designer for Kate Spade. She & her husband left the company a few years ago, and I can never remember the new creative director's name. It can't be as good as Kate Spade. Now THAT'S a name.

ooo! I love the green dress with the purple shoes, the b/w dress with the hot pink tights, and OMG- the white dress with black dots and green tights! Am I too old for that? And it looks like it has ruffles on the bodice!

I'm not sure whether you meant to say Kate Spade isn't real, but she is. She's from Kansas City, which is where I am, and the newspaper here writes about her quite frequently. Spade is her married name though I wonder if she still retains rights to it, since she sold her company a few years ago.

I love me some Kate Spade, no doubt about it. Wish I could get away with polkadot tights, but unlikely. (I still haven't even been brave enough to make some skirts for work, although I did just get official confirmation last week from my boss that skirts are not forbidden, as was told me by other emmployees. So that's a step in the right direction. I guess.)

Don't know if you follow The Selby, but he did a shoot of Kate's place: http://theselby.com/11_4_10_AndyKateSpade/ (Sorry if this posts twice, Blogger was acting up.) Gorgeous home, with just a bit of fun.
